Is this CS respiration?

Is this CS respiration?
I noticed a pretty significant event this morning as seen below.  Seems to be a series of waxing and waning breathing followed by a significant reduction in volume.  One event seems to last almost 2 minutes!   Let me know if you would like more detail.

Nothing to worry about there just a small amount of periodic breathing

Your numbers are OK, and none of that is CSR.  The events are long, and the significance of that is in what happened to your Oxygen levels.  The Minute Vent chart will somewhat follow your oxygen levels so if that stat is taking a significant dip for extended periods (Medicare says Oxygen desats of 8 minutes per night to or below a level of 88% should be treated with supplemental oxygen.)  The only way I know to determine this is with a recording oximeter.  If you choose to go this route get one that is compatible with OSCAR (SleepyHead).

Do you tape your mouth with the nasal mask just wondering if you were mouth breathing but keeping the soft pallet closed so not to occur leaks as the flow waveform is very reduced during that time we also cannot see your leak line

Does this help?  And no i don't tape my mouth.  Wife noticed some mouth leaks last night she told me.

Can you set your Max y to 15 on the minute Vent, It looks like you are dipping to 3 or lower (50% of your median) for many minutes. If you have access I'd run an overnight oximeter just to eliminate desats as being an issue.
